Battle Arena Melbourne 7 (BAM7) commences May 22-24, and it will be a doozy, for the first large scale Mortal Kombat Xtournament will be held at the event. WB Games Australia has worked with CouchWarriors to paint the walls blood red (figuratively) with MKX being a major element of the festivities.

Firstly, there’s the Mortal Kombat X Pit, which is the themed tournament play area, bringing the atmosphere of Outworld to Melbourne. Of course, this space will be rated R18+. Secondly, there will be a major prize pool with a $1000 pot bonus for the very best, top 8 players of the tourney. This is in addition to the regular cash prizes and product giveaways, which include all sorts of Mortal Kombat merch. Finally, and certainly not least, back-to-back EVO champion Carl ‘Perfect Legend’ White will be present, allowing attendants to “test their skill” against the Mortal Kombat 9 king. The announcement trailer for his participation can be viewed below.
